With Poland's joining of NATO on 01 April 1999, a new life began for 10 Brygada Kawalerii Pancernej (10 BK Panc), and it affected both its organisation and its equipment. The new NATO member immediately created a cooperation base with neighbouring Germany to purchase Western equipment from Bundeswehr surplus stocks. The target was to equip a brigade-sized unit with Western equipment, an undertaking that up to the present day has never been repeated by any other NATO country. Based on hitherto unpublished photographs this publication shows the motor pool of 10 BK Panc, consisting of Polish, Russian and German vehicles that at the end of the last century were opposing each other on both sides of the Iron Curtain but today jointly train and fight.

How to order our publications?

For reasons of streamlining our company, and to disband the much-complained-about â€šstone-ageâ€™ print-out ordering system, we have revised our online shop system. With these measures we are aiming to increase customer satisfaction: Effective as of now it is no longer possible to order at Tankograd in Germany directly. Instead, the following national outlets will allow you to order more efficiently, at less postage, and using modern online-basket shopping systems with much improved payment options. For those customers who cannot find a national outlet in this list, please order at one of the German modelling traders and military bookshops at the end of the list. These also stock our range and will be more than happy to hear from you.
